It’s become clear that most in Joe Manchin's party are ready to put endless party-line negotiations behind them
Halfway through his first full day on the Hill since dealing another blow to Democrats’ grand party-line ambitions, the West Virginian had already traded barbs with Sen., right outside the Energy Committee that Manchin leads. After Heinrich said Manchin strung along Democrats for a year on a bill that could reshape U.S. climate policy, Manchin replied that he’d done no such thing.
Nearly 18 months since Manchin became Democrats’ elusive 50th Senate vote, it’s become clear that most in his party — himself included — are ready to put endless party-line negotiations behind them. As Democrats move forward into the midterms, what started on paper as a $3.5 trillion plan to reshape the government will almost surely become a health care bill that reduces the deficit and spends perhaps $40 billion.
Other Democrats are refusing to talk about him. Still more are holding out hope that he is open to padding the legislation with billions of dollars in clean energy and tax increases on the wealthy and corporations, though Schumer seemed to end that drama by vowing to move forward with the health care package.
